I hope any Litizens from that province and their loved ones are safe. The pictures and stories of survivors are horrendous.

Thank you Guilty, I have many friends in Ft Mac. I also work about 70 k north of the city and about 30% of the people at work live in the city.

This will be a defining moment for the entire oil sands region.

In the face of this tragedy, you can't stay on topic and let the personal bullshit slide for a few posts?
I know who is the real cunt here.

the low loss of life is an attestment to the services and plans in place, and a brave, resourceful populace having to move en masse to safety under such extreme conditions.

the loss of woodland, fauna, and homes is another matter :(
incredible photos and iincredible stories.

You are dead right on that one.

The people of Ft MCMurray are very resilient, probably more highly trained Safety experts per capita than any place on earth.

A change in the weather has slowed the progress of the Fort McMurray wildfire, though it still rages out of control, according to Alberta fire officials. Rain pattered down on first responders near Fort McMurray Sunday. While the rain itself wasn't having an immediate big impact on the fire, it signalled a change in weather that firefighters were hoping for.

"For us this is great firefighting weather," said Chad Morrison, senior wildfire manager for the province, told a news conference Sunday. "We can really get in there and get a death grip on this fire. "With the cooler weather, we expect to hold the fire there and I expect to hold the fire there for a few days."

Premier Rachel Notley said the convoys and flights moved 25,000 people from north of Fort McMurray between Friday and Saturday night.

"At 10 o'clock this morning, no evacuees are left on the north side of the fire," Notley told reporters.

While the mood at the press conference had a feeling of hope, Notley choked up when she mentioned the only fatalities linked to the fire so far.

"It has been widely remarked, including by myself, about how miraculous it has been to evacuate the entire population of the city and its surrounding facilities in such a short period of time," said Notley. "Unfortunately we did lose at least two of our fellow citizens during this emergency, due to traffic fatalities."

On Wednesday, two people were killed in a highway accident while evacuating the city —15-year-old Emily Ryan and 19-year-old Aaron Hodgson.

I think I heard Ontario has its own wild fires - near Timmins - am I right?

just looked on google - I think it is Beresford Lake cottage country.

Northwestern Ontario in the Red Lake District is another large fire, 3rd largest in Canada right now.

Kenora and Dryden seem to have substantial fires.

None of significance. Big one just inside Manitoba.

15 uncontrolled 130 controlled in Canada up 170% from ten year average

Whipping Creek NC must be putting up a smoke cloud. 15,000 acres.

Another 10,000 at Rocky Mtn.

Although Alberta's biggy is 390,000 acres.

That last part's a bit over the top, but you are near it....emotions.

The nature of the workforce there means everyone in canada knows someone who got burnt out.

This too will pass and the rebuild will be good for the region.

Im guessing you don't work in the oil patch. I do, I live in Alberta about 6 hours from the fires and some of my guys I dispatch haul near there.
The reason why I think it is a defining moment for the oilsands is it showed that they cared more about the people than our premier did.
As for rebuilding it will be very tricky. Lots of businesses are gone so many people don't have a job to go back to.
Right now people are living in limbo, with uncertainty if they have a home or job to go back to. They have no income coming in but still need to find a way to pay their mortgage and other monthly payments.

Im going to take a wild guess and say you are from Ontario. Many of those people have their head up their ass and you seem like one of those people.

I suggest you actually read a post before replying, retard.
 
A little good news and the folks need it even if they still don't know if they have homes or businesses to go back to. Trust Auntie Beeb to cover all the angles, this article really shows how nasty this fire was at its worst.

As our most expensive natural disaster ever I think it says a lot for our stable weather and tectonics. No hurricanes/typhoons, tornados a rare news item. No city collapsing earthquakes. Droughts are economically hard but no great wipeouts of harvests. No massive killing floods. All in all quite a safe place to live from that point of view.

Although I think we may be inured to winter storm deaths to some extent.
 
You had The Ice Storm, that was petty bad and we're bracing for The Big One so better knock on wood, Mother Nature can be a bitch.
